Wandering through E-Space

D.W.Q.M.: "The ceremonial gift merely symbolizes friendship. We have no need for symbols, you and I." -K'anpo, (from the Third Doctor story, Planet of the Spiders ). My sister IM'd me this song that she and the kiddies made up: "Oh, you better watch out, You better not cry, You better not pout-I'm telling you why. Auntie Ro is coming to town. She's going to have lots of fun, She's going to play lots of games, She's going to spoil you rotten, So hurry for goodness sakes!" *heehee* I can't wait to see them tomorrow!!!!

D.W.Q.M.: Sarah Jane Smith: "I feel disoriented." the Fourth Doctor: "This is the Disorientation Centre." Sarah Jane: "That makes sense." Happy Solstice, everybody!! :) As of 8:27am, EDT, it is now officially summer. Here in Cleveland we have some lovely rain and thunder to welcome the new season. ;) It's that time of year again-my summer trip up north is nearing...the usual symptoms are coming back: 10. When I say I'm checking out the "local" news, I'm constantly logging on to WCCO . 9. The travel weather section of my weather bug is constantly being looked at. 8. I'm constantly running around, running some kind of errand in preparation for my trip. 7. I see everyone trying to use up their vacation time by taking an extra day everyweek, and I get really antsy-repeating, 'I need a vacation, I need a vacation', when I should be saying, 'Don't worry, yours is coming soon, don't worry, yours is coming soon. 6. I

D.W.Q.M.: Duke Juliano: "There's this man in Florence claims that by arranging ground glasses in a certain order, it's possible to see the moon and stars as large as your hand."

D.W.Q.M.: "...more than nice. Brilliant!" -the Tenth Doctor This is a little later than when I originally wanted to post this-but I just wanted to give a shout out to the folks at Non-Sport Update for being generous and sending me another copy of the current issue of NSU. :) The mail delivery to my building has been a bit shoddy for the past month-I think the post office is trying to find a new regular mailman for us-we've been having different people deliver the mail, and we suspect that when a sub can't get into the building, they don't deliver the mail at all. Eventually we get our bills, but for cool stuff like magazines, those just disappear. That's what happened to my last issue of Non-Sport Update-I've been so busy the past month that it didn't occur to me until last week that I hadn't received a new issue yet. After checking to make sure one had been sent out, and going over all the scenarios that could have caused my magazine to disappea

D.W.Q.M.: "No! No! Not the mind probe!" -Castellan (from the Fifth Doctor Story, the Five Doctors ) Hey! As of today, I've been blogging for 3 years!!! Hard to believe that three years ago, this was just an experiment to see if I could keep a website up to date. (ok, so I haven't done much with my main site in a loooonnnnggg while-at least I've kept my blog up...more or less.) LOL. I'm really due to update my site-add a few Travel Dog adventures, add some pictures. That'll be my goal this summer. :) My poor sister, Ally (who wishes to be known as Alicat from now on. LOL) :) Anyhoo, my sister is a cashier who works the graveyard shift at a 24 hour grocery store-and anyone who works graveyard shifts could probably tell you stories about the strange customers you get during those hours. Alicat's story begins with a call she got about an hour before her shift ended. She was the only person up frongt and got a call from a woman asking if they had any soft

D.W.Q.M.: the Second Doctor: "Goodbye...Fancypants!" the Third Doctor: "Scarecrow!" Arrrrrggg..I had a nice long random thoughts post, and I lost it!!!! Stupid blogger-why did I have to log in again? I had been working non-stop on the post! I keep forgetting to save my entries as I type them. *sigh* >:( Ok, well, I had several things to say, but now I'm just going to write about a couple of them (because of time issues.) ;) . First of all, Hello, Ally!! My little sis is finally online! Look out, world! ;) She was so excited that she emailed me Friday night, and when I called, she told me to check it. Well, I forgot to check it again during the weekend, so she called and asked me if I ever checked my email. When I finally did check it last night, I was greeted with 7 'Hey! Don't you ever check your email?' messages, and several new pictures of the kiddies!! I do feel bad about not checking my email though. Ally, since you now have a digital came
